Zeppelin Hangar

Allen,

I got your email. I'll look at them later. I'm working the next 2 so I can only do a little at a time.

I've recieved the files from Alexander. So check your email. I tried using modelconvertx and i got alot of errors. i can load it into FSDS but i don't know what to do with it.

UncleTgt,

If you read this, would you be willing to help?


I'm putting tight rains on this one. I told Alexander we wouldn't mistreat his work. I'm only going to give out one or 2 copies and thats about it. so who ever wants to help please PM me.

BTW, I've looked at it in FSDS, It looks great.
 
Very good, I helped preserve the Zepplin files and am glad to see sheds are happening. These vast machines were essential for the German effort for WWI, and the sheds were essential for them as well. The Zep bases should be creatable now with the vanilla buildings and the other ancilarry items available. Well done!
 
I think Blood Hawk is planing to make the Brits raid on Tonder. So I need to do the double shed “Toska”.

Well I figured that it only makes sence.

We have the HMS Furious. We have Sopwith Camels. All I have to do is setup the Camels with a tail hook, Bombs and there you have it.

They only used seven Camels for the raid. Out of which two made it back to the Furious. Three landed in Denmark and two were lost. It doesn't say if they were shot down or if they crashed. It was about 90 miles to the hangars and they were very low on fuel. I figure put in three groups. Two with two planes each. the last Group with three. Maybe throw in some Albatros pursuit planes.

I think it will be a fun one too do.
 
Here is the L-44 complete archive with alternative skins, and full file set in case anyone needs it:

Blood_Hawk

From what I've read no Albatros's go off the ground. zeppelin-museum.dk says the landing field was rough and the planes were damaged in landing accidents offten. My guess is that all 5 were damaged and never took off.

Some info can be found http://www.tondernraid.com/tonder.htm

CrisGer

Have it.
 
CrisGer,
that version of the L-44 is outdated. we (Allen, OldWheat and myself) have completely revamped the
L-44. We have yet to release it. It will be avalable on the Aerocrate's site once we are ready

Allen,

I'll look the site over. I'll make it historical-ish. We have to have some excitement.
 
Cooper bombs

There are desciptions and pics on the net - just make a search for "cooper bombs WW1" and you will get lots of more or less good sites. This http://www.worldmilitarycollectables.com/viewitem.php?id=247 is a comercial site trying to sell one of those relics at a ghastly price - but there is a nice picture. I am looking forward to see the results of your efforts. I think that we have far too little WW1 material in CFS-2, and especially the Tondern raid was important, being the first carrierborne attack in history. I am amazed with the good results you already have - good work.:salute:
Finn
 
Thank you Finn. Its mostly just Allen and myself doing this.

I can find 20 lb and 25 lb Cooper bombs all day. But other than those i only get references to the 50 lb. Even the RL 65lb was hard to get info on.

I took hugh liberties on the 50lb Bomb. I May have the shape all wrong. It could be backwards for all I know.

Allen,

Man that is realy coming together. I might alpha my ground textures so they fade/blend a little. not sure just yet.
 
sounds good glad you have kept working on the Zepplin, i kept the files to preserve them for possible efforts, as the dp needed work glad you all have had a chance to do that. Good luck with it all and the hangars look great. Wish we had good ground textures with landscape but that will come eventually one can hope.'

I also have a Scapa Flow scenery that was started years ago, if you want to include it in your efforts.


:medals:
 
One more

There is also a Scapa scenery on Thefreeflight site (ww1 for CFS-2) Maybe combined they would make one perfect? You say, you have a "partly finished" scenery, which from you normally means "almost perfect" so please do upload it:applause: It may even be used for other designers for totally different things - like the U-47 attack in 1940 (do we have a submarine sim in CFS-2?)
